Show an understanding of the qualities of materials to choose appropriate tools to cut and shape (such as the nature of fabric may require sharper scissors than would be used to cut paper).. Textiles Create objects (such as a cushion) that employ a seam allowance. Join textiles with a combination of stitching techniques (such as back stitch for seams and running stitch to attach decoration). Use the qualities of materials to create suitable visual and tactile effects in the decoration of textiles (such as a soft decoration for comfort on a cushion). Electricals and electronics Create circuits using electronics kits that employ a number of components (such as LEDs, resistors, transistors and chips). Computing Write code to control and monitor models or products. Construction Develop a range of practical skills to create products (such as cutting, drilling and screwing, nailing, gluing, filling and sanding). Mechanics Convert rotary motion to linear using cams. Use innovative combinations of electronics (or computing) and mechanics in product designs. To design, make, evaluate and improve Design with the user in mind, motivated by the service a product will offer (rather than simply for profit). Make products through stages of prototypes, making continual refinements. Ensure products have a high quality finish, using art skills where appropriate. Use prototypes, cross-sectional diagrams and computer aided designs to represent designs. To take inspiration from design throughout history Combine elements of design from a range of inspirational designers throughout history, giving reasons for choices.
